Article Synopsis
- Migrants and refugees often struggle with mental health issues but have limited access to proper services, prompting this study to explore ways to deliver psychological support in Colombia using a group intervention called gPM+.
- The study compared two training methods for nonspecialists delivering gPM+: one receiving support from a psychologist and the other from a trained nonspecialist, enrolling 128 distressed adult women in the process.
- Results showed higher attendance in the psychologist-supported group, but the trained nonspecialist group was more cost-effective and maintained fidelity in delivering the program, highlighting the potential for using community-based methods for mental health interventions.
